All three of the things I asked for in this chain now exist as part of Java -

-- Lambdas - code snippets you can pass (without even declaring them as functions, even!),

-- brackets for accessing Lists and Maps, and

-- a way to declare variables for both a try and its associated catch and finally blocks.

I'm kinda floored.
